Greed
Anchorage Brewing Company

No date on can, into a generic pint glass.

Pours a hazy turbid orange with huge soft white foam. Aroma is guava, papaya, overripe fruit, and citrus rind, very pungent. Flavor is similar, tons of overripe fruit, some cantaloupe, and a lot of honey plus some funk. Low bitterness and some good sugar, but the strange fleshy fruit and almost savory melon flavors plus the honey keep it from being sweet. Finish is a little bitter. Flavor is smooth enough to be fiancee approved as well. Huge body, impossibly soft and smooth, very enjoyable.

My first Anchorage beer and I definitely paid for it, but wow. Lots of similarities to Trillium's Cutting Tiles series which are DDH DIPAs with honey, and this one amps up the flavors to 100. This one is a triple that drinks like a single but has the complexity to warrant the price.

BOD 6-2-2024. This beer pours a darker golden color with a medium head that stays. Aroma is citrusy & tropical as is the taste. It has a smooth mouthfeel and very little bitterness. You don't notice the ABV either.

Cloudy, orange color. Medium-sized, white head. Tropical fruits, melon, and honey. In the aroma. Soft, juicy taste with moderate bitterness. Good IPA.

 

Pours a hazy golden color with just a splash of orange thrown in for a little color, off white head sticks around for quite some time with descent lace.

Aroma is tropical, passion fruit up front underneath berry, apricot blend with the honey sweetness very well. Bitterness is herbal/pine mixture further underneath all that hazy fruity sweetness.

Taste is everything the nose is but more, tropical fruity for sure, honey sweetness that goes so well with the tropical is a great touch that should be more common. Citrus and lover ripe melon, berry, earthy, herbal and with a light pine bitterness in the finish mixed all together. Seems to have it all, hazy and a good enough bitter kick.

Mouthfeel is big medium with lightly peppy carbonation that brings the under lying flavors out.

Overall the more sips I take the more I like this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love this brewery. Have yet to have an Anchorage that hasn't been excellent. This is a big triple IPA with a really pleasant aroma and balanced taste.

 

L: An odd light color beer.
S: A light mist of hops.
T: A very light triple hop IPA with unique hops and a clean honey finish.
F: Hops and honey.
O: An odd take on the original triple IPA. It's a light honey flavor on a lighter body.

 

 

 

Pours a hazy yellow with a finger of white head. Strong patches of lacing. Great head retention. Tight compact bubbles.

Nose is quite interesting. A sweetness like brown sugar, but not quite, lies within. The hop profile is interesting as well. Almost perfume-y like passionfruit and dragon fruit. There is this unripened melon quality as well. Like honeydew perhaps? Also, something like cucumber. Very unique and distinct.

Taste is just as strange. Not a negative. The sweetness is there. The hops provide this hard to distinguish fruit flavor. Almost like a fruit salad. Melon, like honeydew and cantaloupe, grape, passionfruit, brown sugar, but not quite as dark. I'm guessing this is the honey. This is possibly one of the most unique IPAs I've ever had.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied with mild carbonation.

Overall, a interesting brew. Way out of left field. That said, I quite liked it. Totally different, with a good amount of complexity.
